I hope NOT laugh I do know Ford does use some form of Windows on the last rental I drove. Had that Power by MS right on the dashboard. I played with it a bit before giving up. Thats was some years ago so maybe its gotten better?

I think Apple is missing the boat on this one - iSO4 would be a good fit for cars.

I just do the calendar thing on my iPhone. I don't have a lot of changes to do so that is no big deal. I was reading Ed's post about his iPad for his daughter and he complained about not having wireless synching and he made it sound like getting photos on the iPad was similar to planning the Normandy invasion. I must be missing something somewhere.

Ford uses MS software still, unfortunately.

Papa,
if the iPad is similar to the iPhone/iPod Touch as far as getting photos on it, it's not really that hard at all. In fact it's really easy.

As you can see by my screen shot, it's a simple click on some boxes and voila! Synced photos. It's through iPhoto.

Click for full size

Thats was a few years ago, when Marg was here, the rental car company gave me a pice of junk Mercury something? Anyway the center console had those screens like you see today with a sign that says, Powered by MS. Could not get it to work, but that might be all me? ? So I left it with the blank blue screen for the next driver to figure out laugh

I found it finally...whew, had to dig around a little:

Quote:
Ford and Microsoft worked closely together to design and engineer SYNC, which is based on state-of-the art Microsoft Auto software. Ford further developed and customized this technology to deliver in-car solutions that help drivers conveniently and reliably enjoy digital entertainment and communications while on the road. With the introduction of SYNC, Ford is proud to be the first and only automotive company to market this product in North America.

and I love this!

Quote:
What is SYNC My iTunes?
SYNC My iTunes is a Microsoft Windows based downloadable software program that corrects common errors in your iTunes music library, so that your music can be indexed by SYNC.

Common errors my butt!


Oh, and how about this!

Quote:
What if SYNC gets a virus? Could that cause my car to malfunction?
The SYNC platform is independent of a vehicle’s engine. Security is vitally important to the Ford Motor Company and Microsoft. Effective measures have been taken to protect SYNC from viruses, and we do not share any information on our strategies or tactics

I had synched my iPhone and Touch so I was just trying to figure out what he was trying to do that made it different. I am still considering getting one but I would like to see what functions are added with the IOS update and I am still trying to decide what is missing from the device that I would need added in the second generation.

Well, one of the big rumored things is the camera for facetime. And you can take pictures/video with it, which, while you may now think of as something you may not want/need, could come in handy one day.

And more storage space will probably happen too. They did that with iPods and iPhones, why not iPads?

Considering that Apple will more than likely announce the 2nd gen. in January, I would wait.

Well, if you want to get photos onto the iPad directly from a camera, and not through an iPhoto library and iTunes on a computer, it's not as simple as it should be for this type of device.

It's not supposed to be like that.

You can't just jack in a cable and download off a card reader or a camera.

You have to get that dock nonsense, and you have to get the camera connection kit ( connectors that jack into the dock, one for your camera's USB cable, or one to read SD cards only [ no XSD, HCSD, just SD ], so really, some camera owners are stuck with the camera-USB bit ).

That's way too much crap to get and to do just to get some friggin photos into the iPad. You're pretty anchored to home for loading up an iPad with photos, unless you don't mind dorking about with dock and other garbage, besides your iPad and camera, oh, and AC power access.

Yahoo, boy, thar such is a lot of stuff to that thar mobile device bizness.

But kids are young, and don't have as much of a problem as adults with stuff that is braindead stupid, so my girl will love her iPad and camera, and that's all that matters.

This thing is stupid beyond words, but my daughter will love it ( I hope ).

Ed
